You might have to rethink that night of tacos, bowling and elderberry wine. What? You've never had a night of tacos, bowling and elderberry wine?
That might have been the problem because Los Cabos, Pin-Up Bowl and Wyldewood Cellars have all closed at the Legends at Village West in Kansas City, Kansas.
Local restaurant group KC Hopps has shuttered its Mexican concept restaurant at the Legends, but Los Cabos at Mission Farms in Leawood has been succcesful since opening last February. KC Hopps hasn't left the Legends entirely. It still owns Wild Bill's Legendary Steakhouse and Saloon.
Pin-Up Bowl was a martini lounge-cum-bowling alley. Think Lucky Strike, only in KCK. The 12-lane alley was at the Legends for five years. The original Pin-Up Bowl in St. Louis (6191 Delmar in the Loop) is still in operation.
Wyldewood Cellars is known for one thing: elderberry wine. The winery, which actually has 40 different varieties of wine, is based in Mulvane, Kansas, and has locations in Paxico, Kansas, and West Wichita as well as in St. Joseph, Illinois.
Which one will you miss the most? Or will you not miss any of them, instead pinning (no pun intended) your hopes on the as-yet-unnamed locations that are expected to be announced in the coming weeks?

maybe Missouri can actually win back some places over to the KCMO side..they let enough of it slip to joco over the last 12 years..time for some payback!!!
let's make it clear when people mention kansas city, that people know KC is KCMO..not kck or joco..that would continue the countrywide vision as a redneck white bred strip mall..fuck that..
The Legends Los Cabos had spectacularly awful service both times we were there. The food was okay but nothing to write home about. The food AND service in Mission Farms are more what's expected from a KC Hopps restaurant. Never quite figured out what was missing at the Legends
If you're curious, Frontier is at 94th and State, which is about 1/2 mile east of 435.
Trust me, honey, there's nothing for you at Legends. But a few miles away, I think you'll get a nostalgic kick out of the Frontier Steakhouse.
Part of the problem with the Legends is its very weird layout. Trying to find some of the stores and restaurants from the parking lot is not easy. My husband and I tried to find the Harry & David Store and Pin-Up Bowl without success. It doesn't surprise me that Pin-Up Bowl closed.
Legends was a disaster and should never have been built. In 5 more years it will be the Great Mall of the Great Plains.
Let's see...Los Cabos was an overpriced Mexican restaurant that didn't offer anything unique. I actually liked some of the dishes at the Corona-themed restaurant when it was there.
The one time I went to Pin-Up bowl, it cost me $20 to bowl two games. But hey, they had Campbell's soup on their menu! I don't think the Legends was the right place for a trendy, overpriced concept like that. They would have been better off in P&L (where it's called Lucky Strike).
And I never bought any Wyldewood wine. I tasted it in the shop and it didn't justify the price.
As far as what's coming: There are way too many restaurants out there to survive during the week given the lack of population in the area, but I'm sure someone will give it a go in the Los Cabos space. I don't know what they're going to do to retrofit a bowling alley, though anything's possible in KCK. Just look at the church at 59th and Leavenworth Road (formerly known as Sunset Bowl).
